It's finally happening! We are coming at ya with a brand new series about Edinburgh's neighbourhoods to help you decide where to move, which local's favourites to visit, and what sort of budget you should get ready!
In this video we are visiting Bruntsfield - possibly Edinburgh's most perfect little neighbourhood filled with coffee shops, bakeries, bookstores, gift boutiques and so much more!

Eek! Exciting to be finally launching this new series to replace the Edinburgh month by month one! This has proved to be a lot more challenging to make BUT I feel very proud about how it came out! Hope you love the cinematic shots AND the silliness! Do you have any favourite spots in Bruntsfield?

We were doing shot setup at the beginning and got a bit silly. Feel free to tell us if you want more or less of our nonsense in these videos (though we'll likely add what we think is funny anyway!). Also, let us know which parts of town you want us to do an in depth video on next!

Yes, Bruntsfield is fabulous. And it backs onto several residential neighbourhoods that are really quite sensational, including Greenhill, Morningside, Merchiston, Polwarth, Viewforth, and Marchmont. It is worth noting that at either end of Bruntsfield's high street is shopping on the high streets of Tollcross, and Morningside. As for the absence of a large grocer, there is a Co-op two mintues' walk into Tollcross from Barclay Church, while on Bruntsfield's high street you will find a Sainsbury's Local, with a Tesco Express at Holy Corner, across from Edinburgh Bookshop. A few minutes' further along in Morningside there are a Waitrose, M&S Simply Foods, another Sainbury's Local, with two Margiotta's further up the road. Plus there are smaller shops including Costcutter. In short, anything one might be seeking in terms of edibles and drinks can be found within the short span that includes Bruntsfield and Morningside. As you note, locals might want to consider 'visiting' Bruntsfield. It certainly is a wonderful experience.

This is such a helpful video! I have a terrible sense of direction and get lost everywhere I go!!! Before I went to Edinburgh in May, 2022, I watched all your videos and when I got to Edinburgh, I could find things! I had a good idea of the layout of Old Town. Thank you, thank you! On the next trip, I would like to become more familiar with the neighborhoods and try out the restaurants, coffee shops and outstanding places to visit like parks and museums. I would like to know more about the Water of Leith walkway. It would also be very cool to take an ecotour of Edinburgh, something like a naturalist's tour and learn about the local birds and plants of the city. I love learning about Edinburgh and Scotland and enjoy your videos, the humor and the ongoing story of Kakibot and Simon.

I stayed in Bruntsfield when I visited Edinburgh and loved it! I did walk to Waverley on my first day and it went very quickly, plus I got to stumble upon Victoria Street unawares from Grassmarket and was so enchanted with the initial view (it was also a weekday morning in May, so not too busy). Thank you for this video to remind me!

@@Kakibot it does get a bit busy during tourist season, and life is especially strange during the Fringe when all sorts of bizarre things are right outside. 🤣However, even during the busy periods it is surprisingly quiet in the evenings. It is generally fairly calm after 7pm and most evenings it is very quiet and almost deserted by around 9pm.

Wow! Bruntsfield has definitely become super-gentrified over the years.I remember the area 30 years ago when it was considered nothing special. Many of the tenement flats were occupied by students. People who bought a flat in Bruntsfield back then must now be sitting on a nice little asset.

Very interesting profile of the area. Looking forward to the following videos. I'm interested in the Leith area. Will you be covering areas in Fife? In my research it seems rents are a fair bit cheaper, if a bit out of the way. Heard some areas there are quite rough too, but plenty good also, so.
@Kakibot
@Kakibot Жыл бұрын
We'll deffo do Leith - probably in a two parter, as it is basically its own town! With Fife...maybe down the line when the channel is big enough to justify covering the surrounding areas in a more detailed manner. There are some Fife videos on the channel already but focused more on places to visit than to move to (unless one is flush with money x).

I love how they’re all very unique in coloring and design. Why is there an Irish whiskey in that one shop that with all the Scottish stuff? 😅 I’m not that familiar with a lot of the neighborhoods outside of the main city center so I would like to see as many as possible! I also would like to know what the people in Edinburgh do for a living to be able to afford that housing. A lot of those old buildings are beautiful. Makes for wishful thinking!

Wow I see you are REALLY paying attention to detail here!! Income wise I think it's important to consider there is quite a noticeable amount of "old money" people. Then you also have students attending prestigious universities who rely on scholarships OR the bank of mom and dad. But in my immediate social circle there's a lot of people who work in tech/startups/e-commerce, often remotely, who are making around 50k a year (so often up to 100k as a couple, sometimes a bit more) and that (tragically) seems like just about the level at which you can live in a nice area of Edinburgh without having too many financial worries (but also nothing extravagant or luxurious!)
